abferm Posted November 11, 2012 Share Posted November 11, 2012 Hello, I just bought a domain from Domain.com and can't figure out how to get it to point to my server. In the past I have used a couple of free dns services that give away free subdomains, but on their sites I could just put in the IP address of my server and everything just worked. I can not find a place to do that on my control panel on Domain.com. What am I missing? It is probably really simple. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Radau Posted November 11, 2012 Share Posted November 11, 2012 (edited) Did you set up the DNS record you want such as an A record? Edited November 11, 2012 by Radau Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
abferm Posted November 12, 2012 Author Share Posted November 12, 2012 Okay, I found it. How long does it usually take for that to take effect? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Radau Posted November 12, 2012 Share Posted November 12, 2012 Depends on the web host, I've never personally used domain.com. I was using hosting24 (regrettably) for about 2 months for a FastDownload host for a few game servers and it took about 6 hours for that to kick in. Not sure what the average is though.
